Thanks for the suggestion. Few families have as many products associated with them as Helvetica does. But I can see how it could be difficult to zero in what you want with 100+ buying options. We’ll give this some thought.

I was on the Helvetica family page on the new fonts.com. It should 139 buying options, paginated. I only wanted to check the price for the regular style. There was no way to search for a particular style on that page.

Yes, that is correct — DIN is an acronym for the “German Deutsches Institut für Normung” (German Institute for Standardization). Read more here: http://www.fonts.com/font/linotype/din-next

I’d like to know what DIN stands for; I suspect Deutsches Institut für Normung?

First time used it crashed InDesign 5.0. Fix the bug and tell people you’ve fixed it. I won’t touch it again until I know it’s safe. Last time I try a beta version. I’m not your guinea pig, OK? I’m using a an Imac, running Snow Leopard.

Comment on Web Fonts: The Need to Know Basics by Bill Davis

Thanks Alice, that is a good comment. Yes, it is important to make sure you style CSS properly to make sure you don’t get a fake bold or italic. One of the cool things about the Fonts.com Web font service is the tools we provide to let you create style sheets and “selectors” to make it easy to assign fonts to each desired CSS styles in your project. This can help to avoid issues with fake bold/italics.

One thing I quickly learned with web fonts is one has to be careful about bold faces and slant faces. Identify where web browsers will apply fake bolding and italic, and use CSS in those cases to specify a genuine bold or italic web font. The end result looks so much better.
